The key board is OK - nothing special worth that amount of money. The biggest drawback is the "mouse". It is so small so as to make it useless and I still use my regular mouse anyway. The feel of the keyboard is good (although it arrived with one key off). I had trouble making the software work with my previous Logitech devices already installed. Since neither keyboard showed up in the software, I had to uninstall it but it wouldn't take both of them, which it should be able to do. The look is nice and charging unique. So it's OK but nothing that special nor worth that price.

My last keyboard was a diNovo multimedia keyboard, numeric pad and mouse combo. It was a very good board but not made to the same caliber as this one.
In construction this one is really second to none. Some have said there were some fit problems but my board arrived in perfect order. It looks and feels substantial. This board will not slide around on your desk. Where you put it is where it will stay.
Setup was a breeze and typying is pure pleasure. The key resistance is perfect not to light as to give no feedback and not to heavy as to make your fingers fatigue. Logitech must have done a lot of research on this board and on it primary typing function and it shows. I have never typed on a more perfect board.
Orange lights light keys when they are pressed. In my opinion this is more gimmick than anything else. But it is cute for the first day or so when you are using the board. The board is lightly programmable which is frustrating. Functions like single key strokes to bring up My Computer or My Document folder have been eliminated and in their place are four programmable Function Keys. I can live with that but it would have been nice if I could place these programmed keys as a default instead of constantly having to press the FN shift key and then the appropriate Function Key to get the response I want. Probably this only bugs me since I am used to their previous diNovo model which had a toggle for this default.
One thing that bears mentioning is the Touchdisc. It is a pad that takes over your cursor control and it is fabulous. It has eliminates constant mouse usuage and keeps your hands on the board. Why Logitech doesn't make more noise regarding this little gem is beyond me.
Another thing is the aluminum fronted palm rest. Perfectly designed with the right slant to support your hands and keep them in the right position for typing. The added benefit is that it almost always remains cool to the touch which, and this might sound touchy feely, soothes your hands. If I were Logitech I might have called it the strip the palm spa. OK maybe I wouldn't have but it sure feels good.
The board is solid and performs impeccably.
Worth every penny.
Note: Since writing this review I have gone onto the Logitech forum which does mention an erratic volume control on this keyboard. It is being postulated that it may be ambient light, interference from speakers or monitors or a bad charging station that may be the cause. I have not experienced the problem yet however if you are thinking about this board you may be well advised to check the Logitech forum before purchase.
The volume control and TouchDisc can be disabled using the Function Lock key and Off combination however that is not a solution for a board that costs this much.
Rating: - Great KeyBoard But save your receipt because of bad rechargable battery
Ok so when I first got this keyboard I loved it. Typing on the diNovo Edge felt so comfortable and super quiet. The battery life was incredible. 15 minutes of charging and the battery can last days on end. Except 3 months after buying I noticed teh charge was not holding. If I charged all night it would go dead after a days useage. Then it got worse and worse where I would charge it for hours only to get 1/2 hour of charge. The mouse worked ok, but the keyboard just dies. This seems to have happened to many people and Logitec will replace it just make sure to keep your proof of purchase and even the packaging as well.
Rating: - Good Overall
Overall an impressive keyboard for our company conference room. Looks impressive. A few connection issues during setup and recently. If anything stops working, start pressing the "Connect" buttons on the USB fob and the bottom of the keyboard.
